I installed according to http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Installing_0810
with one exception: I took the kde install from the dvd
I have tried:
1) Install pure from dvd and update accordingly + build MD before reboot , I didn't edit the sources.list and got lots of 404 errors..
2) Install kde from dvd (5'th of jan snapshot version) edit sources.list to resolve packages better, and do internet installation according to webpage above + reboot ( no MD build this time)
RESULT:
When kde starts I get a reeboot just at the end of the progressbar
I also saw some message about "..couldnt'.. .. proceeding with Normal boot."
I have had a working 810 installation before with an earlier version, think it was the first beta or so.
Anyone else had this issue?

I 've had the same reboot problem. while booting it tries to install new graphic driver (in my case Nvidia-glx-260) using apt-get install but it cant. In /usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh comment out reboot.

I tried it that wasnt the problem though in the file it had a check that it only reebots if install successfull ( I tried commenting out reboot but that didnt help) .. i seen there has been some never shapshots one from 8th of jan so Ill try that one , if it doesn't work Ill try to go with the december issues :)
Thanks!

Have a look at this trac ticket. It was related to the problem I had earlier today.
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/ticket/926
Changing the "INSTALLED" variable from "1" to "0" worked.

After a core crash I performed a new core install today using the net script. Now building up a new MD but I got caught up in the same situation. MD keeps on rebooting and I never reach the AV Wizard :(
Already changed "INSTALLED" to "0" but that made no change.
I now put the 23579 nvidia-install.sh into the MD and see if that makes any change, will let u know
(btw its a nvidia 6150)

Changeset 23588 solved the problem and AVWizard kicked in ;-)

I've tried numerous images including last december one. I've also tried the latest 3.2 gb one with the old repositories mentioned by attunezero. see the 'end of support breaks installer' thread in installation issues. I once succeeded to get an avwizard using the 3.2 gb latest disk but I did a mistake (removed an md image and it wouldnt boot anymore) so I had to reinstall, but then I got the same problem again.
Process of endless reboot I have.
Kde boots with progress bar then screen goes into black mode with white text
then kde boot progress comes up again and goes into black mode with white text and says:
"Couldn't find resume image, doing normal boot". And then I THINK it says: "couldn't connect to mysql database."
Any guesses? I didn't see any change with nvidia 'reboot' outcomments
Cheers. /Per

go to the file they talk about in the trac ticket and where there is the case statement for nvidia 260 remove everything but the echo statement and the return statement. change the echo from 260 to 195
that worked for me

Sorry about this bug, fellas.. Hopefully the next round of snapshots should have this bug eliminated.

Hey all,
Having same experience with mysql and reboots. when the system boots, can I get to a terminal and make this change ?
-
Have a look here...
http://forum.linuxmce.org/index.php?topic=11271.msg77760#msg77760
Boot to recovery console. When booting just before Kubuntu starts booting "Press escape for boot menu" ( If I recall correctly)
the grub boot laoder will appear. Choose "recovery console" (If I recall correctly, not infront of my core ATM)

Ive successfully installed the 1 nov image according to this thread and also the thread about the 'end of life breaks installer' , however I cannot successfully initiate the MD into going into AV wizard. Same reboot problem, I've changed the /usr/pluto/diskless/29/usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh
I beleive the problem is that I did a Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh build before I did the change to the file that made me able to start the AV wizard on the core/hybrid.
So .. any ideas? I will try to do the Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh again.. and somehow rebuild the no 29 MD (dont know how yet though)
Cheers and good luck to you all.

UPDATE: I copied over the /user/pluto/diskless/usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh with the one from the core and it worked, even though I had some issues with the screen going black because it couldn't set the display source correctly, but I clicked around and managed to get vga going.
Going to install my projector now.. :). Perhaps I'll buy some z-wave to control climate... and who knows from there. :) Great product when it works :) (like always ). Thanks for this forum and for you who answer, whithout this it would be 10 times as hard (at least)
Cheers. /Per

Hi All,
Finally got my Core/Hybrid installed in the right place and got a MD in the livingroom,
Core is running fine.
MD: asus K8V SE deluxe with 3200+; 1gig and a nvidia 6600GT; connected through component to 32" CRT-tv
I did a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade on 21-1-2011 (i think) followed with /usr/pluto/bin/Diskless_CreateTBZ.sh.
after i boot-up the md it creates the md but for some reason installs the nvidia 173 driver end keeps in an endless reboot.
i changed the nvidia-install.sh in /usr/pluto/bin so it matches changeset 23588 and 23635
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/changeset/23588
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/changeset/23635
deleted the MD and let it pxe-boot again...still it installs nvidia 173 and gets into a endless reboot,
often, but not always, i get a message that there has been a kernel panic right after the Kubuntu splash-screen.
Does anybody have any suggestions?
br,
Raymond

Ok, i got it fixed :)
i was editing:
/usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh
but the one i had to edit was:
/usr/pluto/diskless/XX/usr/pluto/bin/nvidia-install.sh (where XX is your MD number)
i made the changes according to:
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/changeset/23588
http://svn.linuxmce.org/trac.cgi/changeset/23635
just would let you guys know,
br,
Raymond
